Its becoming tainted.
Everybody living on the Missouri
Slope knows DR.. Dunn, the old timer.
In purchasing drugs the public has to de-
pend largely on the dealers statements
as to quality and prices. Nobody ever
had reason to complain of his dealings
| with the firm Of Dunn & Co. Therefore,
when in Bismarck, be sure to call on them.
Next Tuesday is the day set for cleo.

if -- receives the most votes in the
Second Commissioner District, he will be
| elected. This sitting astride the fence,
with only ones toes touching ground, IS
terribly hard work. We venture to as
sert, however, that democrat will be
chosen commissioner

CHAN and Judge Dougherty returned
Tuesday evening from hunting trip to
Kidder county. They report that the
geese up there have been hunted SO per-
sistently that they are quite wary. In
other words, their trip will not add any
new feather beds to the neghborllood
stock.

Citizens of Emmons County who visit
Bismarck will want to deal with gro,
Gerry firm that has a reputation for fair
dealing. George Jennings, corner Main
and Fifth streets, sells nothing but pure
goods, and at lowest rates. McCrory &
Co., butchers and general meat dealers,
occupy the same building, and Emmons
County people all know that "Mc" will
do the fair thing by them in all dealings
Watertown Democrat To remark that
there is no way Of judging the future
but by the past may have flavor some-
what resembling that of the chestnut
but nevertheless, applying the rule to
Dakota, the future of the territory is full
of promise. This territory has gone
| ahead with giant strides during every
year of the past, and it certainly presents
| ut this time no conditions to warrant a
belief that its course will change.
T A novel verdict was recently rendered
by jury in justice court at St. James,

| the jury, agree TO pay the plaintiff

nication between the county seat and
4 Winchester and the river towns has beer
outrageously poor 1t has taken nearly
ten days to get letter and reply between

Delegate Toole, of Montana, while i,
Washington recently, said that there will
be hard fight made by four territorle
this winter for admission into the Union
Montana. Dakota, New Mexico an
Washington will all present their claim
aud press them vigorously. He think
that the result will be a general enablin
act applying to them ALL He does no
believe, however, that the proposition t.
divide Dakota will meet with the ap
proval of the house. Even an ovel
whelming majority In favor of division
{ at the November election in the territory
! would not, he says, influence congress t
agree to the division. He says the agri
| cultural population of Montana ha
largely increased during the past year.
